RADIATOR or CUYAHOGA FALLS, OHIO Application filed m 18, 1927.. SerialNo. 206,461.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in radiators andhas particular relation to a radiator adapted for use with hot water,vapor, or steam .heating systems.

The invention contemplates an improvement in the radiator constructionshown and described in my co-pending application, Serial Number 139,830,filed October 6, 1926.

Briefly stated, objects of the invention are to provide a radiator ofsimple contsruc tion, which will be more efficient in use and lessexpensive to manufacture than radiators of ordinary construction.

An important object is to provide a hollow radiator bod having radiatingfins detachably secure thereon and to provide a groove in the radiatorbody to secure each fin whereby the fins will contact with a relativelylarge surface of'the body and will be properly spaced apart and securelyheld in position thereon.

A further object is to provide a radiator of the character aboveindicated and to provide a water pan of improved construction which isheld in place thereon by bein seated in alined notches in the radiatingns and to thereby provide sim le, efiicient' means to humidify theatmosplidre of the space to be heated.

The above and additional objects are accomplished by thenovelconstruction, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafterdescribed and illustrated in the accompanyin drawing, wherein I haveshown a preferred form of the invention, it being understood thatchanges and modifications may be made and resort had to substitutionswhich come within the scope of the claims hereunto appended.

In the drawings, like characters of reference are used to denote likeparts as the same may appear in any of the several views and in whichFigure 1 is a perspective view of a radiator constructed in accordancewith this invention Figure 2 is a fragmentary view taken in horizontalcross section as indicated by the lines 2-2 of Figure 1,

It will be seen thatwith the fins 10 thus positioned in the r notches 11 will be adiatorbody in alinement there 5 that the.

by forming a V-shaped seat extending longitudinally of the radiator. Apan 12 is preferably formed of a length which will extend longitudinallof the radiator body. A pan 12 is trough s aped having a V-shaped bottomwall adapted to fit in the notches 11 and side walls 13 and 14 whichextend upwardly from said bottom tainer for water which may be used tohumidi fy the atmosphere to be heated. The lower wall of the pan ortrough 12 serves to deflect outwardly atmosphere heated by the radiator.

It will thus be seen that I have provided a radiator of simpleconstruction which may be manufactured at a low cost and which will bevery efficient in use.

Having thus illustrated my invention, and

described the new and desire to secure by Letters 1. In a radiator, achambered radiator body, said body provided on opposite sides thereofwith a plurality of parallel grooves, each of the grooves located in thesame plane with a like groove on the opposite sides of the body and finsdetachably secured on said body, each fin comprising a sheet of metalhaving same in detail, what I claim as Patent an opening adapted toreceive said body andbeing mounted thereon with the inner edges of saidfin seated in one of the grooves on each side of the body. Y

2. In a radiator, a chambered radiator bodL, said body provided withparallel side wal each of said side walls provided on the exterior facethereofwith a plurality of parallel grooves, each of the groovesbeingpositioned in the same plane with the like groove on the opposite sideof the body and fins detachably secured on said body, eachfin extendingaround three sides of the body with the inner edge thereof seated insaid grooves.

3. In a radiator, a chambered radiator said body provided with parallelside wal each of said walls and the top wall of said body provided onthe exterior face with a plurality of closely spaced grooves, and aplurality of fins each extending around the sides andtop of said bodywith the inner edge of each fin seated inone of said grooves.

4. Ina radiator, in combination, a chambered radiator body, said bodyprovided with parallel side walls, each of said walls havin a pluralityof closely spaced grooves, eac

ve extending around the side walls'and the top wall of the body and afin seated in each of said grooves, each of said fins provided in theupper edge thereof with a triangular notch, said fins arranged with saidnotches in alinement to form a seat extending longitudinally of saidradiator and adapted to hold a an therein.

11 testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.
